CLAIM OF PRIORITY

This application makes reference to, incorporates the same herein, and claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. §119 from an application for ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE, earlier filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Dec. 27, 2012 and there duly assigned Serial No. 10-2012-0155316.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to an organic light-emitting diode.

Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which are self-emitting diodes, have advantages such as wide viewing angles, excellent contrast, quick response, high brightness and excellent driving voltage characteristics, and they can provide multicolored images.

A typical OLED has a structure including a substrate, and an anode, a hole transport layer (HTL), a second electrode (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL), and a cathode, which are sequentially stacked on the substrate. In this regard, the HTL, the EML, and the ETL are organic thin films formed of organic compounds.

An operating principle of an OLED having the above-described structure is as follows.

When a voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, holes injected from the anode move to the EML via the HTL, and electrons injected from the cathode move to the EML via the ETL. The holes and electrons recombine in the EML to generate excitons. When the excitons drop from an excited state to a ground state, light is emitted.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a structure of an organic light-emitting diode 20 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the organic light emitting diode 20 has a structure including a substrate 21, a first electrode 22, a hole migration region 23, an emission layer (EML) 25, an electron migration region 27, and a second electrode 29 that are sequentially stacked on one another. The hole migration region 23 includes a hole injection layer (HIL) 23A, a first hole transport layer (HTL) 23B-1, and a second HTL 23B-2 that are sequentially stacked on the first electrode 22. The electron migration region 27 includes an electron transport layer (ELT) 27A and an electron injection layer (EIL) 27B that are sequentially stacked on the EML 25.

The above-detailed descriptions of the substrate 11, the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 19 may be referred to as detailed descriptions of the substrate 21, the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 29 of FIG. 2.

The HIL 23A may be formed on the first electrode 22 by any of a variety of methods, including vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition.

When the HIL 23A is formed using vacuum deposition, vacuum deposition conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL 23A, and the desired structure and thermal properties of the HIL 23A to be formed. For example, vacuum deposition may be performed at a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 500° C., a pressure of from about 10⁻⁸ torr to about 10⁻³ torr, and a deposition rate of from about 0.01 to about 100 Å/sec. However, the deposition conditions are not limited thereto.

When the HIL 23A is formed using spin coating, the coating conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL 23A, and the desired structure and thermal properties of the HIL 23A to be formed. For example, the coating rate may be in the range of from about 2000 rpm to about 5000 rpm, and a temperature at which heat treatment is performed to remove a solvent after coating may be in the range of from about 80° C. to about 200° C. However, the coating conditions are not limited thereto.

Non-limiting examples of materials for the HIL 23A are N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis-[4-(phenyl-m-tolyl-amino)-phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine, (DNTPD), a phthalocyanine compound such as copper phthalocyanine, 4,4′,4″-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (NPB), 4,4′,4″-tris(N,N-diphenylamino)tripheylamine (TDATA), 4,4′,4″-tris(2-naphthylphenylamino)triphenylamine (2-TNATA), polyaniline/dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani/DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), polyaniline/camphor sulfonic acid (Pani/CSA), and polyaniline/poly(4-styrenesulfonate (PANI/PSS).

The thickness of the HIL 23A may be from about 100 Å to about 10000 Å, and, in some embodiments, may be from about 100 Å to about 1000 Å. When the thickness of the HIL 23A is within these ranges, the HIL 23A may have good hole injecting ability without imparting a substantial increase in driving voltage to an OLED including it.

Then, a first HTL 23B-1 may be formed on the HIL 23A by using any of a variety of methods, for example, one of vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition, and the like. When the first HTL 23B-1 is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the conditions for deposition and coating may be similar to those for the formation of the HIL 23A, although the conditions for the deposition and coating may vary depending on the material that is used to form the first HTL 23B-1.

To manufacture an anode, a glass substrate with deposited ITO/Ag/ITO layers (70/1000/70 Å) was cut to a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.5 mm and then ultrasonicated in isopropyl alcohol and pure water each for five minutes, and then cleaned by irradiation of ultraviolet rays for 30 minutes and exposure to ozone. The resulting glass substrate was loaded into a vacuum deposition device.

After 2-TNATA was vacuum-deposited on the anode to form a HIL having a thickness of 600 Å, Compound 1-8 was vacuum-deposited on the HIL to form a first HTL having a thickness of 600 Å, and Compound 2-7 was deposited on the first HTL to form a second HTL having a thickness of about 750 Å.

CBP (host) and platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) were co-deposited in a weight ratio of about 91:9 on the second HTL to form an EML having a thickness of about 400 Å, followed by depositing BCP on the EML to form a hole-blocking layer having a thickness of about 50 Å. After deposition of Alq₃ on the hole-blocking layer to form an ETL having a thickness of about 350 Å, LiF was deposited on the ETL to form an EIL having a thickness of about 10 Å, and this was followed by depositing Mg and Al in a weight ratio of about 90:10 on the EIL to form a cathode having a thickness of about 120 Å, thereby completing the manufacture of the organic light-emitting diode (emitting red light).

Example 5

An organic light-emitting diode (emitting green light) was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that, instead of forming the first HTL and the second HTL on the HIL, Compound 1-8 was deposited to form a HTL having a thickness of about 1000 Å, and Compound 2-7 (host) and Ir(ppy)₃ were co-deposited on the HTL in a weight ratio of 91:9 to form an EML having a thickness of about 250 Å.

Example 6

An organic light-emitting diode was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 5, except that Compound 1-17, instead of Compound 1-8, was used to form the HTL, and Compound 2-10, instead of Compound 2-7, was used as a host in forming the EML.

Example 7

An organic light-emitting diode was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 3, except that, instead of forming the first HTL and the second HTL on the HIL, Compound 1-8 was deposited to form a HTL having a thickness of about 1350 Å, and Compound 2-10 (host) and PtOEP were co-deposited on the HTL in a weight ratio of 91:9 to form an EML having a thickness of about 400 Å.

Example 8

An organic light-emitting diode was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 7, except that Compound 1-19, instead of Compound 1-8, was used to form the HTL, and Compound 2-19, instead of Compound 2-10, was used as a host in forming the EML.

Comparative Example 1

An organic light-emitting diode was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 5, except that Compound A represented by Formula A below, instead of Compound 1-8, was used to form the HTL, and CBP, instead of Compound 2-7, was used as a host in forming the EML.
